Gautney v. Kijakazi, Acting Commissioner of Social Security
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS No. 6:23-cv-00567 Cecilia Gautney, Plaintiff, V. Kilolo Kijakazi, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER Plaintiff Cecilia Gautney brought this action seeking judicial review of the Commissioner’s decision to deny her application for social-security benefits. Following a remand to the Commissioner for further proceedings, plaintiff filed an unopposed motion for attorney fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act. Doc. 19; see
28 U.S.C. § 2412(d). The magistrate judge issued a report and recommendation that the motion for fees be granted. Doc. 20. No party objected. When no party objects to a magistrate judge’s report and rec- ommendation, the court reviews the record only for clear error. See Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n,
79 F.3d 1415, 1420(5th Cir. 1996). Having reviewed the report, and being satisfied that it contains no clear error, the court accepts its findings and recom- mendation. Plaintiff’s motion for EAJA attorney fees (Doc. 19) is granted. The Commissioner shall pay fees incurred totaling $7,153.06, payable to plaintiff and mailed to plaintiff’s counsel of record. So ordered by the court on July 3, 2025. _fLacbok BARKER United States District Judge
